Our diverse customer base includes global petroleum, agricultural and mining companies. We serve our customers in the Hidrovia region through:

Our liquid port terminal in San Antonio, Paraguay, located approximately 17 miles by river from the Paraguayan capital of Asuncion, is one of the largest independent storage facilities for petroleum products in Paraguay.

• A diverse fleet of 359 barges and pushboats. We are one of the largest owners and operators of river barges and pushboats that transport dry bulk and liquid cargos in the Hidrovia region. We aim to continue to expand our operations.
